You miss the point Olu. If Amazon had driven out of business the mom and pop stores with a valid business model, nobody would be sheading a tear from them here. What upsets many here is that the mom and pop stores might have been driven out of business by a non-starter business model. In other words, WANG went out of business because they failed to innovate, the mom and pop stores might have been driven out of business because they did not overhype a doomed-to-fail business model in Wall Street. Alomex, Thank you. Olu's post really angered me. he missed the point and he usually is quite nice. He was still being nice but I could not stand it anymore. What really irks me, is anytime I say something about negative management or the company, it is sour grapes due to my losses. I truly could care less about those losses now. It means nothing anymore and I financially fine. That does not mean I should liek the aspect that Amazon ruined a lot of their people's lives. Not just the people that are no longer employed, Amazon also started the cut throat pricing and now people on the internet expect to buy below cost which is slowing down the growth on on-line B2C commerce. Amazon has done incredible damage and wasted tremendous resourses doing so. Glenn
